1. How/where do you want the links to appear?
2. What theme are you using? I’d be tempted to keep a backup of the sidebar.php file and then start tinkering with it.

I’ve been having the same problem [sidebar where it should be in Firefox, but dropped down to below the content in the left column in IE) for a while. I’m using a modified Kubrick theme (just made things wider). Tinkered with the width of the narrowcolumn and the sidebar with no joy; there was a lot of whitespace between the narrowcolumn and the sidebar. Added the * html hack suggested in one of these threads, but no joy.

I even tried making the sidebar div position absolute. That made things work OK in IE but it overlaid the left of the narrowcolumn stuff in FF.

One of the curve balls in my situation is that most of the content for the home page (index.php) in the theme is included in the index.php file itself and not pulled from the database, because of some irrelevant html issues with making it a regular WP page….

I can’t post a url because this is a private site using the membersonly plugin to control access.

Someone said somethere that Kubrick was not the best choice of fonts to modify; I’m open to suggestions. Basically I want a full width header with logo and some links, the sidebar on some pages (with the narrowwindow) but not others, and some control over the widths of the window and the sidebar.

I’m open to suggestions, although a quick fix would unquestionably be the least hassle.

I have tried the upgrade from 2.7.0 to 2.7.1 twice. Each time it fails.

I get no messages on the dashboard screen after I start the upgrade and enter the PW for the web host.

Looking at the wordpress directory on the server, I see a lot of stuff under wordpress/upgrade but when I look at the dashboard it just says that the update failed, try again. When I did that after the first failure, it just churned for at least an hour.

What now?
